Kay County approves corrected Memorandum of Agreement with Integris Health Ponca City to support pregnancy resource navigators
Summary
The BOCC approved a corrected Memorandum of Agreement between the Kay County Health Department and Integris Health Ponca City Hospital after removing an incorrect county name; the Health Dept. said approval was needed so it could hire and train staff.
The Kay County Board of County Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Agreement between the Kay County Health Department and Integris Health Ponca City Hospital, with a correction changing the referenced county from "Garfield County" to "Kay County." District Attorney Brian Hermanson flagged the error and said the correction should be made; Health Department representative Laura Pameticky said the department preferred approval that day so it could proceed with hiring for training.
The agreement describes Pregnancy Resource Navigators (PRNs) as "trusted connectors between clinical providers, patients, and community resources." DA Hermanson approved the corrected agreement "as to form," and the board voted to approve the MOA at the Feb. 17, 2026 meeting. The minutes do not include the MOA's budget line or term dates; the Health Department indicated urgency related to personnel onboarding.
